Press comments from Silverstone: “Verstappen did what he often does”

Verstappen relegated Lando Norris to second place in the McLaren, while his British compatriot Lewis Hamilton came third in the Mercedes. The international press has the following opinions on this. Great Britain The Sun: “Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris did their best to put on a good show for the 160 fans who packed into Silverstone. The two exchanged blows for the title of best runner-up, while Max Verstappen once again proved to be too strong.” Daily Mail: “Verstappen did what he so often does: he won and extended his lead at the top of the championship to 99 points. That’s now six wins in a row and his eighth win of the season. Red Bull's invincibility - Sergio Pérez won the other two races in Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan - will continue in Hungary. Eleven wins in a row for Red Bull, bringing them level with McLaren. The records keep falling.” The Guardian: “Verstappen won, of course. Cynics might now ask: When doesn't he do that? But behind him, the British veteran Lewis Hamilton met Lando Norris, the young wild man who grew up idolizing him. Together they provided the fireworks that saved the race.” Spain Brand: “Max Verstappen won the British Grand Prix by the narrowest margin of the season so far. He was only 3,9 seconds ahead of the amazing Lando Norris.” World Sports: “Six wins in a row, eight wins in the ten races so far. Nobody can beat Max Verstappen.” Ace: “Norris and Hamilton delivered the show, the victory was for the all-time winner.” Italy Corriere dello Sport: “It is Verstappen’s sixth win of the season. This was expected, but it was less clear than on other occasions.” Sports Gazette: “The British Grand Prix lasted five laps – that’s how long it took Max Verstappen to recover from Lando Norris’ rocket launch.” France The team: “House party for Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone. With a bit of luck, he made it to the podium at his favorite track for the 14th time in his career in third place behind Verstappen and Norris.” Austria Krone newspaper: “Red Bull makes history with Verstappen’s victory” Courier: “Now the next record in Formula 1 is due. Max Verstappen won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday, giving Red Bull its eleventh win in a row across all seasons. Only one team has ever achieved a similar series in Formula 1: McLaren with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in the 1988 season.” Switzerland Look: “Finally excitement again. McLaren-Norris tickled King Max's nerves. At Red Bull and Verstappen, the champagne will be put cold to defend their World Cup title in mid-July. It's frustrating for many fans, but the Dutchman has a lot going on. But still without a Ferrari.” Daily Gazette: “The Brit (Norris) had a wonderful home race until he had to worry about his podium place shortly before the end. But ultimately he becomes the man of the day. Only the World Cup leader is faster.”
